Mestre Acordeon is a legend in the Afro-Brazilian Martial Art of Capoeira. He is one of the first Brazilians to have introduced capoeira to the United States and for his 70th Birthday, he will ride his bike from him home in Berkeley CA to his birthplace of Bahia, Brazil. Since he was in Denver attending a capoeira family gathering, Mestre Acordeon had elected to train a little in between capoeira workshops enjoying the Cherry Creek trail. The ride will start Sept 2nd and take over a year to travel the 14,000 miles. Project B2B has started a crowd-funding campaign through the popular Indigogo site to raise money for the trip which includes a documentary film crew and security through dangerous terrain. Please consider making a donation to help this remarkable challenge.
